Contain Yourself!

Puzzle Notes
Greetings Subscribers,
Though I have plenty of storage and closet space, whenever I pass a Container Store outlet, I can't resist the urge to drop in and look at products designed to organize STUFF. In an effort to declutter before painting my home this fall, I'm determined to pare down and let go of things that no longer serve a purpose. I've let go of yards of clothes, books, sheet music, fabric, musical instruments (a flute and an acoustic guitar that I no longer play). I prefer to play my flamenco guitar whose neck is narrower and easier on my smallish-hands - why hold on to the acoustic? The kitchen yielded veggie-cutting and coffee-making gadgets that I've not used in years. The pourover and a sharp knife will suffice. And so, when I pass the Container Store again, I'll feel no urge to go in. To that end, I cannot contain my excitement!
